Satono saw Aria run to Vincent without a second thought. "Heheh!" Heios grinned, soon laughing. "This is gonna be cool!" He started running around. "Keep going, Aria! He won't see this coming!" Aria kept Vincent moving with endless swings and strikes, his movements were becoming more and more hectic and unpredictable. He had to play on the defense to avoid getting hit. "Those swings are very emphasized... Are you really trying to kill me?" Vincent would attempt to play around her with emotions. Maybe, just maybe, he could get them to stop fighting. He would keep dodging, rolling and jumping around. "Stay quiet and you'll die painlessly!" Aria side-stepped to the left, using her katana as a jumping pad and kicking him in the face. "AH!" Vincent was thrown back a few feet, backflipping to regain balance. "You just had to go and bail on us!" Aria yelled. "It's not because you had a thing for me, right?" "..." Vincent would look at her with a serious stare. "I don't have to explain myse-" Aria cut him off. "You don't have to explain anything. It doesn't matter. We'll have you dead, regardless." She quickly sped at him, and Vincent was quick to dodge. Her katana was fast and strong. The blade glowed pink when she was swinging it, but that glow would fade when it was idle. Aria went for a beheading strike. "You're not the only one with a strong Soul, you know." Vincent stopped and grabbed Aria's hilt, the blade an inch from his neck. "Fierce as always... Aria." "..." She stared at him, but before she could attack him, Vincent pushed her away alongside her blade. It was clear that he didn't want to hurt all of them. Unbeknownst to Vincent, Heios was placing turrets, hiding them in very good spots. Those turrets can be fired automatically, or at will by Heios or the Soul. This is what Heios meant by 'cool'. Those turrets pack a huge punch, dealing massive damage to anyone even if they were layers stronger than himself. There were about 25 turrets in total, encircling the 500 meter field. Aria kicked Vincent, using his body as a boost to jump away, causing Vincent to fall to the ground. .:. No! I can't get hit any further! .:. Vincent punched the ground and created a barrier out of dirt and earth. Raising his right hand, five tendrils of white and gold shot outwards from Jasper and attached themselves to Aria and Heios. They got a sudden burst of energy, strength and stamina. "HE'S WEAK! FINISH HIM!" Heios turned his arm into an atom-splitting energy blade. "Kyuga, here I am!" He would receive the tower-ups from Jasper, proceeding to break through the dirt barrier he put. He wanted to make sure that the turrets he placed, actually hit him. Vincent's eyes were wide open as he stared Heios down. .:. Atom splitting... No... That's a path to destruction... .:. "It was nice knowing you, 'Vincent Sparks'." Heios grabbed him by the neck and tossed him up into the air. Raising his left hand, another five tendrils of black and orange from Jasper sped towards Vincent, attaching to his very Soul-Aura, beginning to drain his life and Soul-Energy mid air. .:. Do something! Do something! .:. Vincent panicked. .:. DO SOMETHING! YOU CAN'T JUST DIE HERE! .:. .:. Wait no... .:. Aria finally hesitated for a moment. She was so into killing Vincent that she forgot what Vincent was to her. Finally grasping the thought of having to kill Vincent, was the one thing that she didn't want. Maybe, just maybe... they can hold off on killing him, and just bring him back to Lord Veyron. He would understand, right? He would probably have to kill him in front of everyone... "WAIT!" "TAKE THIS, KYUGA!" Heios yelled out, the turrets would discharge beams, all directed towards him from all sides. Crossfire. Kyuga Mazda was caught in the attack, the entire area was lit up, explosions looking like fireworks, and plasma leaking from smoke in the sky. It was as if a meteor shower occurred. The sheer destruction caused was a testament to Heios' strength and capabilities. In th
